An insulated container of gas has two chambers separated by an insulating partition. One of the chambers has volume V1V_1V1​ and contains ideal gas at pressure P1P_1P1​ and temperature T1T_1T1​. The other chamber has volume V2V_2V2​ and contains ideal gas at pressure P2P_2P2​ and temperature T2T_2T2​. If the partition is removed without doing any work on the gas, the final equilibrium temperature of the gas in the container will be
